pardon me if its mentioned before, realize in HLV John kicks down wiggins and kicked chair in 221b after SH reappearance with his psychosomatic limp.

do you think John “choose” Mary bec he has a tendency to attract &be attracted by dangerous ppl or he unconsciously chose Mary bec, like her, he wanted (try) to have a normal life? Mary would kill before she’d let John know things,her wish for normality so intense &maybe John saw that. Also there’s a theory (sylviatietjens. co. vu/ post/ 73460662599/ another-three-episodes-another-series-finished> &that John’s ‘fault isn’t blame but a flaw-danger tendency PTSD. do you agree?

Hmmm, this is an interesting question, but I think you’ve got a couple of things…
